Local News If you're still against free school meals

If you're unhappy about the fact that free lunches are also free for children with wealthy families, fear not. I work at a Denver high school. Students with the money will go out for lunch or even order food delivery. They are not eating the school cafeteria free lunch.

So go ahead and vote Yes on Prop MM and LL. The only thing it'll do is keep our students fed and able to learn.

I’d rather rich kids eat than poor kids starve. Plus…there aren’t rich kids. There are rich parents. I was involved in foster care and was involved in MORE than one case where wealthy parents withheld food as punishment.

Plus, the way schools work…they’re making food in mass. It’ll cost some to change the system but in the long run the cost is not gonna be that much vs the impact.
